Integrative Bodywork
Supporting the Gut–Nervous System Connection
GutWell is excited to expand our functional medicine services by introducing an Integrative Bodywork Specialist.
These hands-on therapies support the important connection between the gut, nervous system, and whole-body health and may be beneficial for individuals experiencing digestive concerns such as IBS, chronic constipation, bloating, SIBO, and gastroparesis.
Dr. Mitchell has found this approach to be a valuable complement to functional and medical care, particularly for patients with chronic digestive symptoms.
The addition of Maya Abdominal Therapy allows us to offer a more comprehensive, whole-person approach that addresses not only the biochemical aspects of gut health but also the structural, neurological, and stress-related components that influence digestion.
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, integrative bodywork may help to:
• Improve communication between the brain and gut
• Release physical tension held in the abdomen and surrounding fascia
• Support vagal tone and parasympathetic “rest and digest” activation
• Enhance the effectiveness of medical, nutritional, and lifestyle therapies
These services are available to both GutWell patients and members of the public and do not require an appointment with Dr. Mitchell.
